Monday Morning~ By Katherine Biewend

I opened my eyes just in time to hear the beep beep beep,
Why does it always seem like I beat the beep.
I trip on my scale for my daily weight check,
Then I rush down the halls, thrusting open each door for my daily kid check. “Good Morning my Lovelies, time to wake up, wake up, wake up!”
They lay there still, “Seriously, I Love You....GET UP!”
I list the list they already know: backpack, lunch box, shoes,
It never fails, “Mom, I can’t find my shoes!”
We once-over under the bed and under the pile of jackets, we find them outside, “Why are your shoes outside!”
It is time to go,
Get in the car,
Buckle up,
Hold on tight,
“Have a good day!”
